What is one feature that your car has that you use rarely, but highly value and would be annoyed if @Ford Motor Company removed?
For me, it’s the entry keypad. While I don’t use it too often, it’s a great feature to have and the times I have used it, it’s been incredibly convenient. I hope the @Ford Motor Company decontenting Gods never touch this feature!

How about the easy-access 12V jump point? Uh… Oops! ??

Or the often-used Chill Spot? ??

I would answer this backwards....

The features I value highly are the ones I use A LOT, some of which I had to add:

- door pillar code entry/lock
- screen startcode for PAAK failure
added - rear receiver hitch
added - 12v, and HV disconnect access holes
added - 12v heavy duty charge/export connections

The features which I wish were NOT included that that I NEVER use are. I would love a lower trim level without these at a lower cost pricepoint:

- BlueCruise
- Driver 'alerts', the front ones at least
- Driver assist steering/braking/parking
- power seats, hatch, hood

Love the door pillar code and use it often when PAAK isn't fast enough. I also like to run without anything in my pockets so locking my phone in the car and being free of any extra weight is a huge plus. The upgraded watch app that works on cellular is great when its hot out, being able to turn on the AC towards the end of my run.

360 degree cameras. Didn't realize how much I liked them until I drove my wife's, Tesla.

This thread took a fun turn.

In seriousness, I use my frunk maybe 5-6 times per year but I find it valuable when I do.

I’ve used my Tesla adapter once but I’m glad to have it just in case.

My son likes to change up the footwell lighting colors occasionally. I find it useless but he thinks it’s fun.

FordPass Blue Oval Charging network functions I barely use, but happy to have.
